A private transfer to or from MIA and Kendale Lakes covers 14.8 miles in about 26 to 40 minutes by black SUV or private van, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. The drive follows the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), and your bilingual driver tracks the inbound flight to meet you curbside when you land — no surge pricing, no shared ride.
Prices are per vehicle, locked at booking, and cover the whole group — tolls and fuel already included.
Daytime hours run 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. Trips outside that window carry a modest addition:
The ride runs about 26 minutes off-peak and up to 40 minutes at busy times across the 14.8-mile route. Early mornings and late evenings tend to sit at the shorter end, while weekday rush hours and heavy airport arrival waves push toward the longer figure. The distance itself does not change; congestion around the airport corridor and the west-side surface streets near Kendale Lakes is what adds the extra minutes. Because your fare is fixed at booking, a slower trip never costs more — you pay the same flat rate whether the roads are clear or crawling. If your flight is delayed, the pickup shifts automatically, so the clock effectively starts when you actually walk out of the terminal.
What pushes the ride toward 40 minutes is mainly rush-hour congestion around the airport interchange and on the local streets leading into Kendale Lakes. School drop-off and pickup times plus weekday commuters compound it. The driver times departure and picks routes around live traffic, and the fixed fare never changes no matter the delay.
Kendale Lakes is a residential, family-centered community in southwest Miami-Dade, defined by quiet neighborhoods, chains of small lakes, and everyday conveniences rather than tourist crowds. Strip malls, supermarkets, casual restaurants, and community services line the main avenues, giving the area a practical, lived-in feel. Green space and waterside walking paths give the neighborhood its name, and a well-known local park anchors family outings and weekend recreation. It is the kind of destination where visitors are usually heading to a home, a business meeting, or a relative’s place rather than a resort. You can learn more about local recreation at Kendale Lakes Park, and the community’s school pride shows through at Kendale Lakes Elementary.
Local recreation and daily conveniences define the area: parks with walking paths and playing fields, community sports, and relaxed dining along the commercial avenues. It fits family visits, youth events, and slow afternoons more than nightlife. With shopping centers and supermarkets close at hand, staying here feels easy and self-sufficient.
Kendale Lakes belongs to the wider southwest Miami-Dade suburbs, surrounded by similar residential areas of single-family houses, townhomes, and low-rise commercial strips. It sits inland and quiet, well removed from the coastal tourist zones. Broad avenues and blocks lined with lakes lend the community an open, low-density feel that a direct private drive reaches easily.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; full cash at pickup is not accepted. A round trip simply costs double the one-way fare. Card or link payments carry a 4% bank fee. For pickups on the Miami side, you confirm the booking with a 50% deposit and can settle the remaining 50% with the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas require full payment in advance, which we confirm when you book. Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup are fully refunded; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable, so it helps to lock plans early.
A standard Miami-side pickup is held with half the fare up front, and the remainder goes to the driver on travel day — cash is welcome. Deposits are taken via Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link. Splitting payment this way keeps booking easy while your driver and vehicle are confirmed ahead of time.
Nothing extra to do — the driver tracks your flight and re-times the pickup automatically at no cost when you land late or early. Courtesy waiting covers 2 hours for international flights and 1 hour for domestic arrivals, so a normal delay is fully absorbed. Your fixed fare does not change because of a schedule shift.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price listed above. Five passengers in the SUV pay the same total as one. A round trip is simply double the one-way rate. Because the price is locked at booking, traffic and demand never move it.
The most direct option is a private car reserved for your group, riding the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) west toward Kendale Lakes in about 26 to 40 minutes. Choose the Black SUV for up to 5 travelers, or a private Sprinter van for larger parties of 6 to 9 or 10 to 14. You book ahead, share your flight number, and the vehicle is assigned to you alone — no stops for other passengers, no scheduled route. The night before, we text your driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate so you know exactly who to look for. When you clear the terminal, the driver is already at the curb, ready to load your bags and pull out. It is one confirmed pickup, planned around your arrival rather than requested after you land.
The driver follows your flight live and is positioned at the arrivals curb by the time you step outside with your bags. Curbside is the standard pickup; meeting inside the terminal with a name sign is an optional paid extra you can add at booking. Courtesy waiting runs 2 hours for international flights and 1 hour for domestic.
Reserving at least 24 hours in advance lets us confirm the driver and vehicle for your slot. Requests inside 24 hours still get a hands-on review, but availability cannot be promised. After confirmation, the pickup time can shift with 24-plus hours notice, availability permitting — useful when travel plans move.
Your driver meets you curbside at the arrivals level once you exit the terminal with your bags. The inbound flight is tracked in real time, so the car is positioned as you walk out. You will already have the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate by text from the day before. An in-terminal greeter with a name sign is available as a paid add-on.
Yes, small pets are welcome with advance notice by WhatsApp and must travel in a pet carrier. Letting us know when you book ensures the right vehicle and a smooth ride to or from the airport. There is no separate fare for the group when a small pet joins your private car.
The flat rate covers the private vehicle, the bilingual driver, all tolls and SunPass, and fuel — nothing metered on top. Courtesy waiting is built in: 2 hours for international arrivals, 1 hour for domestic, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups, with the pickup re-timed free when a flight shifts. Your standard luggage allowance is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and drivers help load and unload. The essentials travel with you at no added cost.
Several optional items fall outside the base fare. Meeting inside the terminal with a name sign is a paid extra. Every child seat after the first free one adds a small charge confirmed at booking. Waiting beyond the courtesy window bills in 30-minute blocks, card or link payments carry a 4% bank fee, and tipping remains optional.
One vehicle is reserved for your group alone, driven by a bilingual driver who speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese. The fare is locked when you book, so traffic or demand never changes the number you agreed to — no surge, ever. Flight tracking is built in: the driver follows your inbound flight and re-times the pickup at no cost if you land early or late. You contact us directly by WhatsApp for anything, from confirming an oversized bag to adjusting a pickup time. Drivers help load and unload your luggage rather than leaving you to manage it curbside. The day before travel, you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate number so there is no guessing at the airport. It is a coordinated, private experience built around your itinerary instead of a car you hail after arrival.
All of our drivers are bilingual and briefed on your particular pickup ahead of time. They show up with the flight already tracked, welcome you by name, and take care of the luggage. Since the vehicle belongs to your reservation alone, no detours happen to gather other riders — you head straight to your Kendale Lakes address.
Yes — the first child seat is free for a child under 5, and any additional seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Request the seats when you reserve so the driver installs them before pickup. This keeps younger travelers secure for the drive between the airport and Kendale Lakes.
A better-organized, premium ride — fixed price, an assigned driver, and a pickup timed to your flight — for a significantly lower overall price than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

A single reservation and one synchronized pickup, at a significantly lower price than a surging Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

For extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp beforehand and we confirm the space or size up to a bigger van.
Pick the tier that matches your party size — every option is private and reserved for you alone.

Aim for a full day — 24 hours — before pickup. Around holidays and packed weekends, the sooner you reserve, the more vehicle options we can hold for you.
Of course. Bookings come in from every corner of the world; international payments are no problem, and updates reach you over WhatsApp and email.
We operate on advance reservations only. Four hours ahead is the practical minimum, and a same-day slot depends entirely on availability — it can’t be promised.
A part-payment locks your reservation: 50% when the total is under $199 USD, and 30% once it reaches $200 USD or more.
Not fully. The vehicle is secured with a 50% deposit sent by Zelle or our payment link; whatever remains can be handed to the driver in cash on arrival.
Not at all — hotels, cruise ports, train stations, restaurants and private homes are all regular stops for us.
The fleet runs from XL SUVs for small parties to 12- and 14-seat vans, plus full-size buses holding 40 to 54 riders — a fit for big events.
Gladly — weddings, corporate conferences, VIP outings and similar events all get a tailored quote; just message us.
Part of the fleet carries Wi-Fi and USB outlets. Flag it when booking if you depend on either, and we’ll assign a vehicle that has both.
Never — every transfer is private. The vehicle belongs to your group alone from pickup to drop-off.
Relax: we follow your flight live and slide the pickup to match, with no fee for the adjustment.
Send over the new details the moment you have them; we update the booking and keep watching the revised flight.
Standard pickup is curbside — text your exit door and the car pulls up within minutes, typically faster than a sign-holder. An in-terminal greeting with your name on a sign is available for $20 if you prefer it.
A day ahead you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle model and its plate number, plus step-by-step curbside instructions.
Stay calm — a message goes out to you as soon as your plane touches down. No quick reply? The driver walks to the international arrivals hall to look for you there. Nobody gets left behind.
Sixty minutes after a domestic landing, a two-hour courtesy on international arrivals, 15 minutes at hotels, and up to an hour past the agreed time at the port.
With two free hours already included it’s rare, but beyond that the trip can be treated as a no-show. Extra waiting can be added at US$ 30 per additional 30-minute block, paid in cash directly to the driver.
Yes — loading and unloading your bags is part of the driver’s job.
One large case plus one carry-on per rider is standard. Extra suitcases, instruments, mobility gear or strollers? Tell us beforehand so the right space is set aside; a supplement may apply.
Small pets ride happily — inside a secure carrier — as long as you mention them ahead of time.
One seat for a child under five comes free; additional seats are US$ 15 each when requested in advance.
Please hold the food for later — only sealed bottled water is fine during the ride.
They’re not part of the base fare, but a brief nearby stop arranged beforehand can usually be worked in; a small time-based fee may apply.
Sure — with at least 24 hours’ warning we’ll re-slot it, subject to availability.
None — the quote is the final figure. Tipping the driver is optional, always appreciated, never required.
llegamos al hotel justo para el check-in. contentos con haber elegido esto.
Reliable. kind and attentive throughout.
Eu e minha esposa, sem tarifa dinâmica e sem esperar no calor. trajeto suave do meio-fio até o lobby. Tudo certo no geral. (economizei uns 15 minutos vs a fila do Uber)
Adorei o serviço. aocmodou as malas direitinho, e confirmaram por mensagem na noite anterior.
Tal y como prometieron: comunicación clara desde la reserva, ritmo tranquilo, ideal con niños, se está volviendo nuestra opción fija para MIA.
